Cementing her American icon status, Kim Kardashian arrived on the 2022 Met Gala red carpet on Monday night wearing none other than Marilyn Monroe’s original “Happy Birthday Mr President” gold dress, taken directly from a museum.
Ahead of the night, the internet was already ablaze with rumours of Kardashian’s plans to wear the piece of fashion history, but there was just one problem: even with all the SKIMS in the world at her disposal, Kardashian herself admitted she wasn’t sure she could fit into her planned outfit, which she hinted couldn’t be altered.
Over the past few weeks, the mother-of-four has been documenting her rigorous workouts on Instagram, including running on the treadmill in a sweatsuit (gross). But it paid off: she revealed on the red carpet she lost 16lbs in a three-week period. That’s 7.25kgs.
Kardashian, who only wore the real gold dress for a few minutes while on the red carpet, before changing into a replica version for the dinner and rest of the evening to ensure it didn’t get ruined, then noted her plans following the Met Gala: no, she didn’t head to one of the many celebrity-filled after parties, she headed back to her hotel for a pizza and doughnut party with her boyfriend Pete Davidson.
“It was such a challenge. It was like a [movie] role. I was determined to fit [into] it. I haven’t had carbs or sugar in about three weeks,” she told LaLa Anthony, adding, “We’re having pizza and doughnut party back at the hotel [after the Met Gala].”
Once the Met was over, Kardashian posted videos of a full-blown doughnut pop-up in her hotel suite, saying on Instagram, “Okay guys, so after the Met I am starving and my favourite doughnuts in the whole entire world are these mini doughnuts. Omg you guys I have them in the room.”
She then flicked to a table nearby full to the brim of the iconic New York pizza shop, Joe’s Pizza. “I haven’t had carbs or sugar in nearly a month,” she said, “definitely three weeks.” Davidson can be heard cheering in the background to which Kardashian screams, “I’m so excited.”
We definitely don’t recommend crash dieting – but very happy Kardashian is prioritising giving herself what she wants – carbs and sugar – following her rigorous routine.
Just an hour or so after the couple’s pizza party, for which Kim’s sister Khloe joined, the threesome were pictured leaving the hotel in track pants to catch a flight back to L.A. No rest for the wicked Kardashians.
